Evening Division

The Evening Division at Lewis & Clark Law School allows students to spread their course load and expenses over four years. Admission criteria, full-time faculty, and academic opportunities are identical in the two programs.

The major distinction between a day and evening student is in the number of hours the student carries in a semester. The course load for day students ranges from 14 to 17 hours per semester. Evening students enroll in eight to 12 hours per semester.

Evening Division students can count on finding the full schedule of law classes available from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Since most evening students are employed full time during the day, the law school attempts to cluster courses so students have an evening free each week to study and use the library.

After the first year, students may transfer from one division to the other and use the summer school program to accelerate progress toward graduation. In addition, after the first year, students may select courses from either division, combining day and evening courses as they find appropriate.
